($4,899,100,310,608.44) REPUBLICAN HYPOCRISY!

Former President Bush’s era may be behind us but the troubles that he created will haunt us for a very long time to come. I respect and admire the American people for their caring hearts and always supportive attitude of our Government lending a helping hand to a struggling world, but their amnesia is questionable!

I must admit that I am always perplexed by their shallow memory, and willingness, to allow Politicians “and want to be Politicians,” to use fabricated information that becomes a delusionary reality. The avarice of the majority of most Politicians; far exceeds any sacrifice they would ever make for the working class, who are really the back-bone of this, “our great America!”

We worry about the effect of spending a trillion dollars to bring us back from an economic precipice because, during times of relative prosperity we were sold a bill of goods about how our budget would be balanced at some time in future, despite all evidence to the contrary. What George Bush and the Republican controlled Congress did to this country profoundly weakened us.

I find it positively shocking as to the daily Polling that reflects the American people view that this financial disaster and the situation in our county is somehow the fault of President Obama and his administration. I am concerned about the Mid-Term Elections in November, whereby the present Polls suggest that the Republicans may retake both houses of Congress. And it is that “thought” that is most troubling to me and it is the catalyst that gives me the strength for the effort and time in displaying in real figures, why the economy remains in the tank that was there long before Bush’s Presidency ended;

Facts – Not Hyperbole!

On January 20, 2001 when Bush was sworn into office our National Debt stood at;

Five trillion, seven hundred and twenty seven billion, seven hundred and seventy six million, seven hundred and thirty eight thousand, three hundred and four dollars and sixty four cents; ($5,727,776,738,304.64.)

When Bush left office on January 20, 2009 our National Debt was Ten Trillion, six hundred and twenty six billion, eight hundred and seventy seven million, forty eight thousand, nine hundred and thirteen dollars and eight cents; ($10,626,877,048,913.08.)

Under Bush our National Debt expanded, Four trillion, eight hundred and ninety nine billion, one hundred million, three hundred and ten thousand, six hundred and eight dollars and forty four cents; ($4,899,100,310,608.44), which was at a rate of Six hundred and twelve billion, three hundred and eighty seven million, five hundred and thirty eight thousand, eight hundred and twenty six dollars and five cents; ($612,387,538,826.05), per annum for eight consecutive years.

After all of the outlandish spending by Bush and the Republican cronies, and with an overflowing of “duplicity,” they now pretend to have gained a sense of conscience about “the National Debt.”

And in this regard, they are claiming that the way to reduce the deficit is to “not assist the unemployed,” “allow teachers and other educators to be terminated,” and allow a host of vitally needed services to be cancelled. If you happen to be one of the people that are sucked into this unconscionable shameless “ochlocracy,” then perhaps, in the interest of your children, grandchildren and all of Americas children, please allow pause and rationality to create a meditative heart, that would remove the dust from your soul, “so that we can in the not too distant future join in one accord, echoing – “We saved our Country!”

There can be no more "magical thinking". No more tricks of accountancy. No more ignoring the costs of our aging population. This time, when we restore our economy to some semblance of health we need to pay as we go, not borrow as we cross our fingers.
